And this list of gym lead generation ideas will help you do exactly that. 

Why does your gym need a lead generation plan?

Before diving too deep, let’s make something perfectly clear:

In last weeks article, we looked at where the industry is heading in 2022, and as it is the last week of the year, we’ll reflect on some of the best features PerfectGym released in 2021. We want to present to you our latest and most popular releases since the Mid-year Product Review. Have a read and see how they can help you grow your business. 

Since the beginning of the pandemic, the fitness industry has had more than one obstacle to overcome. Every facet of life has had to adapt to the new norm, as many fitness professionals have had to keep their clients virtually engaged. 

Fitness consumers eventually sought a combination of online classes, on-demand content, and outdoor exercise to satisfy their needs. What transpired was new streams of competition for fitness space operators and an added incentive to develop their digital offerings. 

One thing is for sure: fitness events are the single most effective marketing channel for your fitness business. It turns out that taking a more creative approach to attracting new customers might not be a bad idea. Over 70% of marketing professionals say that they've generated sales using event marketing.

It’s an appetizing idea, and for a good reason. We’ve now grown accustomed to Zoom calls, virtual kick-off events - and yes, online workouts. In fact, the global online/virtual fitness market size was valued at $6,046 million in 2019 and is projected to reach $59,231 million by 2027.  Simply put, there’s a wealth of growth to be had, and savvy entrepreneurs can reap the benefits. 

Of course, this is no easy feat. It’s impossible to cater to everyone. But therein lies the challenge for many fitness club owners the world over. Whether it’s for yoga-fanatics, Zumba aficionados or martial arts enthusiasts, there is a delicate balance between over-packed classes and turning up to a room full of tumbleweeds and crickets.

With a 6.4% year on year growth rate, the health and wellness industry was valued at over $4.75 trillion in 2021. As we continue to be more aware of our health and wellbeing, this market will continue to grow. It’s a lucrative business worth investing in if it’s your passion or hobby. Navigating through the internet and figuring out which path to take can be challenging, so we’ve compiled for you the most interesting and profitable health and wellness business ideas. 

As mentioned in the last post, there are many benefits for both gym owners and members for getting into group training. At the very least, by offering SGT sessions, you're tapping into a new market you probably hadn't previously considered.

In this article we are going to discuss the different types of group workout ideas you can try with your next small group training session.

Astoundingly, up to 50% of new members of fitness centres cancel their membership within half a year. Gym owners are obligated to have their fingers on the pulse to engage members and motivate them to train.

Whether creating a new company or building on an existing one, a business plan will be your roadmap to success. Those who have made a business plan are twice as likely to grow their business or obtain capital successfully.
